I am trying to use spacy and some related packages in jupyter

!pip install spacy --user

works fine, but

!pip install spacy_readability --user

results in the error:

Do you get the same error when you call pip from the command line? — vorrade -, Feb 03 '22 at 22:10

You are probably missing ujson.

To install spacy-readability:

building and creating wheel for ujson is needed.

Here is a screenshot from my notebook, when I tried to install spacy-readability

Also, from the error messages it looks like you need Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater if you have an older version.

To install ujson try !pip install ujson
